LOL

 

Sorry for the lame blog title- but I've been singing the song all day, not sure if it was a subliminal thing, or if I heard it on hold-music while I was working ;)

 

Sounds like my insurance is going to give me the full run-around and after feeling like the wind had been taken out of my sails yesterday, I set out today looking for the next option.

 

I'm excited to say, while I did look into some options in Mexcio- I couldn't shake that ultra-nervous feeling I had about it- so I opted to trust my gut and look here in the US. I figured even if it's not within state, it'll still be closer than Mexico. Luckily- my search led me to two places here in MI. One was the Barix Clinic in Ypsilanti, however, they wanted $25,500 for the surgery- and that is just wayyy to out of the budget for me to self-fund. I did find Pleatman Surgical Center in Bloomfield Hills, called and spoke to the nurse- I'm qualified for their program, and even set up my initial consult...this is really happening!! I'm so excited to move forward on this journey. I'm trying to get the time arranged off work but as of right now, the morning of 2/6 will be my big date to meet my surgeon and schedule my surgery-- fingers crossed!

 

I'd like some feed back on this dr/location if anyone has any- I'm all ears..(and smiles today)

My insurance didn't cover due to our company being less than 100 employees, plus I have a high deductible. I found a surgeon that had the self-pay option, and it wasn't too bad, 13K total...now the pre-op stuff was billed and subjected to my deductible, which i'm still partially responsible for, but most of the procedures were not too expensive. what state are you in? really look for a specific BARIATRIC surgeon, and not settle for a general surgeon...far less complications w/a specialist. I hope you find someone who can meet your needs! Best of luck to you!
